Mark IV Ohms
Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:18 pm
Checked out both a new and old MK4 coil today and was surprised to see the HT to ground ohms read at around 1.25K each (with stop wire readings at 0.6K ohms).
The other (Villiers, MK1 etc) coils I have checked over the years read 3.5K-5K on the HT, so wondering if 1.25K is normal for a MK4?
I recall seeing a forum thread on 'normal' reading ranges for all the various coils but can't find it on the search, could anyone point me to that topic?
Only reference I could find for Mk4 ohms is on the following thread which seems to indicate a reading on the HT to ground in a similar range as mine http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/ph ... +iv#p49508
